Works Great for Drive rollators.
The wheels work well on my Drive rollators with 7.5 " wheels. On the back you can replace original wheels with the off-road wheels simply by using a longer 5/16 bolt and adjusting the brakes for the larger 8 inch tire. On the front the off road wheel does not fit between the upright support (fork). However, you can attach the off road by using a longer 5/16 " bolt and mounting it on the inside or outside of the upright support. You can leave the narrow tire if you want even though it it doesn't touch the floor, or you can remove it and simply attach the off road on the outside or inside of the upright supports, I left the 7.5 wheels on the front of my model No. 10257RD-1, Drive Medical Four Wheel Rollator and mounted the off-road wheel on the inside of the supportfork. I did remove the front 7.5" tire and put an off-road wheel on each side of the upright on the Drive Medical Winnie Lite Supreme Aluminum Three Wheel Rollator. I mounted the off-road on the back wheels of the Drive Winnie lite by using 5/16" longer bolts and adjusted the brakes for the larger tires.
This set-up is much safer than just using four off-road wheels on a regular walker without brakes. You need to be somewhat mechanically inclined, but its pretty easy to use longer bolts and adjust the brakes for the off-road wheels. It took me less than 30 minutes to make the change on each rollator. It really makes a difference for using the rollator on the lawn, gravel roads, etc..Overall I am happy with the conversion and the front wheel modifications does' look to funky.
